[00:00] hi [00:01] I just installed BitTorrent 5.2.2. It said it installed, but it isnt showing up in the apps list. Anything wrong? [00:06] !find bitttorrent [00:06] Package/file bitttorrent does not exist in maverick [00:07] whoops [00:07] I'm back. anyone see my question from a min. ago? [00:07] !find bittorrent [00:07] Found: bittorrent, python-bittorrent, bittorrent-gui, qbittorrent, qbittorrent-dbg [00:07] I left... [00:07] !info bittorrent [00:07] bittorrent (source: bittorrent): Original BitTorent client and tracker - console tools. In component main, is optional. Version 3.4.2-11.1ubuntu4 (maverick), package size 52 kB, installed size 300 kB [00:07] is what I downloaded a virus or something? [00:07] 5.2.2? that seems wildly different from the ubuntu version [00:08] you probably got the number wrong [00:08] nope. [00:08] http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Communications/Filesharing/BitTorrent-49.shtml [00:08] better to use the other torrent clients [00:08] and never install 3rd party stuff, use repos [00:09] grr [00:09] !torrent [00:09] Torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html - See also !P2P [00:09] the comments were good [00:10] so the one i downloaded is a virus? [00:10] zero reason to use 3rd party stuff when the torrent clients in ubuntu are so good [00:10] whats the default for xubuntu? transmission? [00:10] yes, and i didnt like it [00:11] so i switched to the one i have on windows [00:11] breaking package management is not the way to go [00:11] and the linux version of it isnt working [00:12] more 3rd party stuff? [00:12] how do i get rid of it when it when it isnt even listed? [00:12] how was it installed [00:12] through a .deb [00:13] dpkg -r file.deb [00:13] ... [00:13] ok [00:13] problem? [00:13] where does it have to be kocated, the deb [00:14] you can hardly expect 3rd stuff to be supported, stuff that breaks package management [00:15] i enter in the code in terminal and it says i need super user [00:16] but im on the main root acount [00:16] sudo !! [00:17] root account? [00:17] thats disabled by default [00:17] :/ [00:17] lrussell, you probably mean the main account, or have you enabled root yourself? [00:18] no [00:18] how do i uninstall it...? im stuck [00:19] I told you [00:20] it work work even with sudo [00:20] it does take my pass. [00:20] file name of package i installed: bittorrent_5.2.2_python2.4.deb [00:21] so sudo dkpg -r nameofdeb.deb [00:21] what folder do i put the deb in? [00:23] ??? [00:28] i keep getting an error [00:28] lrussell, do you *need* to have bittorrent, or is any other torrent client okay as well? [00:29] i wanted bittorrent [00:30] lrussell, for any specific reason? [00:30] its layout [00:33] i just wanna get rid of it... it wont even show up in the app list [00:34] :( [00:35] error: bit.ly/h3OUg6 [00:36] i wish i would have known this before [00:38] 'sudo dpkg -r bittorrent' ? [00:38] yes> [00:38] trying to get rid of it [00:39] did you try that command? (without bittorrent-*) [00:39] install bittorrent from the repos if you *must* have it [00:40] bazhang, afaik the version in the repository is quite old [00:40] the difficulty you are now experiencing is one reason to never use 3rd party stuff [00:40] knome, never heard of anyone who prefers it to the ones included with ubuntu [00:40] ...unless you know what you are doing :) [00:40] yep [00:41] me neither, but then again, i don't use torrents much [00:41] I have *one* PPA and thats it. [00:41] it isnt showing in my app list. but opening the .deb says it is installed [00:41] probably remove that as ogmrip does what handbrake does and more [00:42] ??? [00:42] brb 10 min [00:42] lrussell, leaving it wont harm your system [00:42] ugh [00:44] if one installs a package via dpkg, shouldn't it show in synaptic as well? [00:49] back [00:49] how do i get rid of it... :/ command line isn't working [00:51] anyone still gere i was talking to a min ago? [00:51] yep [00:51] does lubuntu have the same wifi support as xubuntu? [00:52] should do [00:52] I'm thinking bout switching [00:52] now that i destroyed my install of xubuntu basicly [00:52] hardly destroyed [00:53] yeam but i want to get rid of it [00:53] * yeah [00:53] the bittorrent, from 3rd party [00:55] gah, my pc is too old for xubuntu [00:56] i wish my laptop would stop droping wifi [00:57] yay! i found the 3rd part bittorrent in software center! removing [00:59] is there a torrent client similar to utorrent for xubuntu? [01:04] think this is safe? [01:04] http://www.utorrent.com/downloads/linux [01:04] How do I add an icon to my top status bar? [01:04] *I guess it's called a status bar. [01:04] lol [01:06] is utorrent for linux safe? [01:12] lrussell, please install something from the repositories so you don't break your system, as you clearly do not know what you are doing [01:13] XubuntuKris, panel? right-click and select 'add new items', then add 'launcher' [01:13] I'm new to linux... sorta [01:13] lrussell, yeah - that's completely okay - but you should do things in the way that suits your skill level [01:14] lrussell, have you tried transmission? [01:14] lrussell, it's the default torrent client in xubuntu [01:14] yes i have [01:14] I'm more of a windows pro [01:15] xD [01:15] I wanted to try something new [01:15] !torrent > lrussell [01:15] lrussell, please see my private message [01:15] i accidently closed therm [01:15] xD [01:16] I just wanted to download the ubuntu torrent to support lixux [01:16] *linux [01:17] is there any other support question you might have? [01:17] no [01:17] bye [01:17] okay, have fun [01:28] That worked knome, now how do I put it over next to the Firefox icon on the left? Since it added the icon on the right side. [01:31] * likemindead is now running Xubuntu 11.04! :D [01:31] This look legit? http://www.webupd8.org/2011/01/install-libreoffice-in-ubuntu-from.html [01:35] I have a quick question if anyone can answer this [01:35] I'm sure you can just ask Ziefin, and someone will probably answer... [01:35] Which variant of linux is faster Xubuntu or Ubuntu? [01:36] I'm no expert, but someone here is.lol [01:36] Xubuntu tends to be snappier, Ziefin. [01:36] that's what i hear [01:36] Especially on older hardware. [01:36] well my hardware is definitely not old :) [01:37] i just hear that Xubuntu has a faster response time than Ubuntu [01:39] I greatly prefer Xfce over GNOME. [01:39] ah' [01:45] hi [01:45] Has anyone tried the Graybird theme from Shimmer Project yet? I can't find any download online... [01:45] how do i find my lan ip? [01:45] on xubuntu [01:46] my router wont tell me [01:46] is there something u enter in the terminal [01:47] gudmund, I'm using greybird. [01:47] It's nice. [01:47] (In Xubuntu 11.04) [01:48] likemindead, did you download from the Shimmer Project site? [01:48] bazhang? [01:48] Oh, okay [01:48] u here [01:48] Nope, gudmund, just installed Xubuntu Natty. [01:49] how do i find my lan ip [01:49] likemindead, Strange thing the download isen't there, and i don't find it on xfce-look.org [01:49] :/ [01:50] can anyone here help me> [01:51] please [01:51] Let me check, lrussell. [01:51] ok, thanks [01:51] :D [01:52] Try "ifconfig" lrussell (but lose the quotes). [01:52] ok [01:52] Work? [01:53] yep [01:53] thanks. bye [01:54] he shure diden't google alot... [01:55] Yeah... I almost gave him a lmgtfy.com link... ;-) [01:56] gudmund: https://wiki.edubuntu.org/Xubuntu/Artwork/Natty [02:00] likemindead, thanx, but ite download page is gone here too :/ [02:00] Strange. [02:01] Yeah... Should i look for .deb files in in the 11.04 launchpad pages? [02:02] or something [02:06] So, how do I put a link to Chromium browser next to the firefox link on the top panel? [02:19] XubuntuKris, why? Now we got Firefox 4 :) [02:20] XubuntuKris, You have to add a launcher to the panel [02:33] * XubuntuKris hates firefox [02:33] Sorry for the delay [02:35] I added a launcher to the panel...it defaulted on the right side next to the clock..I want it on the left next to the "Applications" and "Places" dropdown menus [02:35] And of course he quit...and I'm talking to thin air.. [02:35] Anybody have any input for this? [02:35] I tried to google it already and couldn't find jack. [02:36] All google comes up with is forums and stuff that require coding...such a simple thing should not require any code unless I'm using some distro that does require code [02:38] bump.. [02:39] anyone?????? [02:39] nvm...\ [02:49] XubuntuKris: Got it? [02:50] yeah [02:50] right click. click move [03:03] Does Compiz work on Xubuntu the same way it does on Ubuntu? [03:09] anyone? [03:09] for having 52 people in this chat, it's aweful dead [03:12] wow, I'm gonna go ask in #ubuntu [04:13] Does anyone in here feel like answering a question? [04:15] Nobody responds to someone that needs help, but I bet if I started flaming someone or spamming, I'd get a response [04:15] This makes me want to stop using xubuntu [04:16] You guys suck [04:56] hi all i'm in step 3 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 [04:57] but i'm confused how to (3) Check to see if the ALSA driver for your sound card exists.

[06:34] earthling_: did you test the usb on something else? [06:35] I did long time ago, guess I will try that [06:35] earthling_: also, see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=562417 [06:36] thx [06:40] usb works on other computer [06:40] created with unetbootin [06:41] TheSheep, perhaps this compaq has usb 1.1 [08:22] i can't found rdp protocol option in the remote desktop viewer tool [08:28] xubuntu should have supported rdp protocol by default, right? [08:36] nobody home^^' [08:47] iirc it was there last time i tried [08:48] hi Sysi [08:49] my xubuntu have sound now [08:49] check if you have remmina(and maybe plugins), it should support it [08:49] :) [08:50] i remember in the past that i can easily remote windows from ubuntu using rdp remote dekstop protocol [08:50] but now in xubuntu 10.10 i can't find rdp in the protocol option [08:52] check if you have remmina and possible plugins, use your favourite packet manager [08:53] remmina? [08:54] ic [08:54] so i must install remmina 1st [08:54] you propably have vinagre, it doesn't support rdp [08:58] ic [09:00] Sysi i don't know thename is vinagre or what , i only know that i fount remote desktop viewer in application>network>remote desktop viewer [09:03] (and that is why i'm against generic names) [09:03] well i know that its name its vinagre i just search in terminal and i found vinagre [09:03] *is [09:04] Sysi xubuntu have no login/logoff sound by default? [09:05] no [09:05] why [09:06] xfce don't have [09:06] oic [09:08] one more question if in win command prompt is route add -p ip mask gateway then in terminal how to do that? [09:10] ahem? [09:17] ^^' [09:17] well ok i'll google it 1st [09:18] oh i got to switch to winxp now [09:18] bye^ [09:18] Thank you Sysi [09:18] np === chmod is now known as istok [10:29] Trying to install Xubuntu. It loaded live, i run "Install Xubuntu 10.10" shortcut. It thinks for a while, then a dialog window appears and immediately dissappears. [11:07] my desktop background became black and white color [11:07] anybody can help:( [11:11] ? [11:13] what do you mean by "black and white color" ? [11:13] do you have desktop icons or not? [11:15] i have color picture then i set it as desktop background and it's normal but then i play with the brightness a little then after that my destop background become greyscale only black and whitr [11:15] sounds like a possible bug in xfce [11:16] I've booted up a Xubuntu 10.10 cd to install it. But the install shortcut won't work: the wizard launches and disappears immediately. [11:16] hi knome i solved my sound problem [11:16] what should i do knome [11:17] xiaoshen, did you also tweak the saturation rate? [11:17] to fix my desktop background [11:17] lolmaus, did you check the cd integrity? [11:17] no [11:17] what's the saturation value then? [11:17] 1.0 [11:17] yeah, that's as it should [11:17] it's the default [11:17] knome, nope. But it had never failed yet. [11:18] lolmaus, you have used the same cd to install to other pc's? [11:18] anyway to fix it :( [11:18] xiaoshen, my best bet would be... open the wallpaper in gimp and tweak the brightness there, and then add the background as is [11:19] xiaoshen, you can also file a but in xfdesktop [11:19] my wallpaper is ok [11:19] if i open with image viewer it looks ok [11:19] xiaoshen, but you want to increase it's brightness? [11:20] no [11:20] so you want to.. what? [11:20] what is not working, if it's not about the wallpaper [11:20] now the problem is my desktop background become greyscale [11:20] no matter what pic i choose [11:20] a-ha [11:20] even if i choose the default bluebird pic [11:21] try to set the saturation to 1.1 [11:21] or anything >1 [11:21] does it render the image non-b&w ? [11:22] oh it's normal now [11:22] thanks [11:22] no problem [11:23] but i think that i don't hcahnge the saturation before [11:23] you can probably set it back to 1 now [11:23] for some reason, i think xfce thought the saturation was 0 even if you saw 1 [11:23] the default is 1 [11:23] right? [11:24] yup. :) [11:24] oh by the way i fix my sound problem by adding options snd-hda-intel model=laptop-automute at theend of alsa-base.conf [11:24] mmh [11:25] after i did that i do sudo alsa force-reload [11:26] then it start making sound [11:26] :) [11:26] good [11:29] knome, i've burned another one and now the setup wizard starts without loading Xubuntu Live [11:29] oh before that i remove pulseaudio package [11:29] but i havent remove pavucontrol [11:30] so you think it's ok to remove pavucontrol? knome? [11:30] xiaoshen, sure [11:30] lolmaus, but it works? :) [11:31] knome, i think so [11:31] knome, while uninstalling the song i played sound to be stop play stop play , is it normal? [11:32] xiaoshen, i don't know, probably yes, but if it doesn't happen again after uninstalling, don't worry ;) [11:33] i see^ [11:34] knome: do you think it's fine if i remove vinagre and replace it with remmina [11:34] :-/ [11:35] xiaoshen, sure, if you like [11:35] vinagre doesn't support rdp [11:35] xiaoshen, xubuntu isn't tied to any applications [11:35] i just wory that the package is not stable [11:36] you can have both for a while [11:36] then remove other [11:37] i see [11:38] i just finish streaming video from youtube , i want to save the video files is there anyway to do it? [11:38] using firefox coz i'm in xubuntu now [11:39] xiaoshen, check the firefox addons, there is a youtube downloader [11:39] well i don't want to download again , coz i have finished streaming the video [11:40] xiaoshen, check the addon [11:40] unfortunately, you have to, as when you add the extension you have to refresh the page for it to become available. [11:41] you know like when using internet explore if the video has finished streaming i just go to temporary internet files to get the video file [11:41] can't do the same way with firefox? [11:41] probably, never had to do it like that though [11:43] then? [11:48] umm, then try that addon for firefox. [11:50] ok [11:50] is there any hexa editor by default in xubuntu? [11:53] xiaoshen, not by deafult, but there's at least ghex. do you know synaptic package manager? [11:53] i see [11:53] so i must install it [11:54] i thought there is 1 by default [11:54] i didn't find any [11:54] sudo dpkg -l | grep hex [11:54] but; sudo apt-cache search hex | grep editor [11:54] second command returned a bunch. [11:58] oh i got to go now , thank you somuch for helpng me knome, istok :) [11:59] bye all [14:47] hello [14:47] i have installed xubuntu 10.10, after installing the nvidia drivers, themes no longer work, and the gtk theme looks really old and crappy [14:47] any idea how i can fix this? [14:48] explain "themes no longer work" ? [14:48] You can not change themes? [14:48] aking a screen shot [14:48] yes [14:49] and the default theme is not used anymore [14:49] some old gtk1 looking theem [14:49] one second [14:51] http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/9895/wtfub.png [14:52] thats the theme im stuck with at the moment [14:52] hm, and no panels? [14:53] That is the window manager theme, though [14:53] i got panels, i have 3 displays, didnt want to post up a huge image [14:53] right [14:53] xfcewm [14:53] okay, and you have the desktop image, right? [14:53] yep [14:53] and you can not change themes in Applications -> Settings -> window manager? [14:54] er its changing the window decorations, not the gtk theme [14:54] which icon set is it using? that is in Applications -> Settings -> Appearance [14:54] Appearance also has the gtk themes [14:54] elementry Xubuntu Dark [14:55] chaning it does nothing [14:55] You haven't upgraded to xfce 4.8 either? [14:55] this all looked "right" before i installed the nvidia driver [14:55] i did apt update/upgrade [14:56] It sounds like a driver issue then. Did you install that using "Additional Drivers" ? [14:56] yes [14:56] the install went well as far as i can tell [14:56] all 3 displays working etc [14:56] and you restarted after? [14:56] yes [14:58] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1597337 [14:58] looks like this guy is seeing the same problem [14:58] I don't know, when multiple monitors come into play.
